Pets of the Week: Chihuahua/Dachshund Mixes

Posted on by

TBAR-Pets-of-the-week-dachshunds

These two little one year old chihuahua / dachshund mix girls are ready and waiting for their forever home. They are sisters and have been together since they were babies so we’d like to see them be adopted as a pair but they can be separated if that’s not possible. The person who adopted them is moving and can’t take them with them. A bit timid at first but when they warm up they are sweet and loving. They are crate trained and have not had an accident in the house since they came into their TBAR foster home. The adoption fee is $75 or $100 for the pair. They are spayed and current on shots and worming. Contact us at [email protected] or 936-878-2349 to find out how easy it is to adopt!

Success Story: Dobby

By Linda Taylor:

In our 2014 Newsletter Olivia Moore talked about how rescue is like a roller coaster.   “Rescue work can be a roller coaster. No, it can be a full-on amusement park! An amusement park, complete with a Ferris wheel, carousel and a haunted house. “

She touched on the different aspects of rescue animal jobs and the emotional rides we take as officers, staff, and volunteers with any animal rescue organization.

So, I am here to clarify this roller coaster ride of emotions as I, yet again, become a foster failure. Sending one of my last fosters to a permanent home tore me up as I had bonded to Joanie, a terrier/dachshund mix with a litter of puppies that we fostered.  So I vowed not to foster anymore – letting them go was just too hard.

And then the call went out on Social Media for yet another little face.   A Chihuahua mix named Dobby entered our front door as a scared owner surrender that was “labeled” at a shelter as a “biter”. But, at about 8 pounds he didn’t look like a bad. little guy.   We were just supposed to transport from shelter to another foster home.

… And then he got sick,  possible distemper.   So he would stay with us for the isolation period

… just inside our front door entry way,  where we could isolate him from our other dogs.

…just inside    … just inside my heart.  

It turned out to be kennel cough  – a bad case of upper respiratory infection.  As we nursed him back to health and we worked him through some of his issues,   I realized I couldn’t let him go.

He has now bonded with my two other rescue Chihuahua mixes and sometimes all three will puppy pile in one of our laps to watch TV.

James and Linda – foster failures.

Dobby wins a new permanent family!

Pet of the week: Ryder

TBAR-Pet-of-the-week-Ryder

This week our featured pet is Ryder. This happy fellow was a stray for weeks when a kind person agreed to foster him. He is not current on shots and on heartworm preventative and ready to adopt. Ryder loves to go for car rides and will even sit in the car in anticipation of going for a ride. He loves walking on a leash too and will take the end in his mouth and walk himself if you let him. This chocolate colored boy is large and has lots of lab personality traits. If you’d like to meet and possibly adopt Ryder email [email protected] or call 936-878-2349

Newest Rescue: Hitch (Horse)

TBAR-Newest-Rescue-Hitch

Please Welcome True Blue Animal Rescue’s newest intake. We named him Hitch because he was tied to a bumper hitch when we picked him up. He had no pasture turn out or shelter so he lived his life tied up. We would like to thank Deputy Wegner or Washington Co Sheriff’s Dept for calling us to pick him up when his owner decided that the best thing was to turn him over to rescue. Hitch will be placed for adoption as soon as he gains some weight!

True Blue Animal Rescue Success Story GinaToday’s success story is Gina!

Gina was the year-old yellow lab who was rescued from the Brenham shelter when they called to alert us that she was on her last days. K’s Mutt Hutt board her, and many people donated to help pay the boarding fees while she waited for her forever home.

We are now happy to share that Gina has found a wonderful forever home with a nice lady and two other dogs. Gina is well-loved and couldn’t be happier!

We are very grateful for the shelter manager who called us, for K’s Mutt Hut for taking care of her, for the donors who paid for her boarding, and to the volunteers who transported her around to her vet appointments. Lastly, and most importantly, we are thankful for Gina’s new forever family, for opening their hearts and homes to her! Gina is certainly our “it takes a village” story!
